If msy_082.sfs is smaller than Ram (plus some slack), it can be loaded completely to Ram.
So the windowmanager, menufiles and most often used programs and libraries are extremely fast.
If the msy_082.sfs is larger than Ram (as in Muppy-Standard), it is mounted like a harddisk, and all files get loaded from that disk, when they are requested.
This is slower.

I currently have an old notebook with 256 MB.
msy_083.sfs (early testversion) was 168 MB.
The computer acted a bit "sluggish"-
I then started Muppy 007, where this file is only 88 MB. That is very very fast.

So I started to move stuff from msy_083.sfs to addons_083.sfs, until finally msy_083.sfs was 103 MB.
Now Muppy 008.3 is almost as fast as Muppy 007 on this machine
The files from addon_083.sfs of course will be a bit slower.
But for Gnumeric it is not so important, if it needs 2 or 4 seconds to start.
But a windowmanager-menu must be very responsive.

MU, when do you think the projected release date for mini_8.3 will be?

I think it will take another 10 days or so.
The isos look ok so far, I just need to check out that I really also upgraded all english files.
Oh yes, just see that I must update the english initrd.gz to use ext3.
I will run more tests then, to be sure my modifications did not cause new errors.
We still work on embryo and server, I currently add Gtk.
008.3 will allow to remote control Muppy using a webbrowser, this needs some more fixes and tests, too.

And I need to update KDE.sfs and the website.
For this release, we want to release "all in one", not "part by part", to avoid the confusion and open questions that occured with the last release.

I plan to travel back to the north around april, 11th.
We then will look together if everythink works as expected, and if yes, release it.

MU, I have a question for you...
What is the location of the config file for icedock? I was fooling around with the other choices of dockapps under Muppy-Icedock and accidentally checked off 'icewmpoweroff'.
Now my pup-save file keeps powering off my machine as soon as the icedock launches at bootup.
If I know which config file to edit, I might be able to salvage my pup-save file or not...
Help

Other curious thought.
I have another machine with the same version of Muppy and I tried to manipulate these setting with a simple line deletion.
(For example, removing the 'client=/root/.wmapps/volume.app' line)
After saving the .icedockrc file, restarting .xinitrc, the line 'client=/root/.wmapps/volume.app' is back again in the same location in the .icedockrc file. How can this be?
Are the config for icedock hardcoded and can not be changed?
What is the purpose of 'Muppy-Icedock' dockapp setup if the changes are not permanent?

It is a bit like an inofficial release-candidate, I wait for Bugreports.
My colleague must go to hospital for some days this weekend, so it takes some more days.
We discussed it last night, and decided to definately release it within the next week after applying last fixes and updates (like firefox 2.0.0.14 and Opera 9.27).
We also set up the new server currently for more reliable downloads

I'm offline from friday until tuesday.
Visit my mom (has no internet).
I downloaded some latest program releases, and will add them, and prepare the final isos while I'm offline.
On tuesday/wednesday we plan to add the current state of Minisys, and upload the Isos.

So if no unforseen things happen, on wednesday evening 0083 should be available.
